Summary

 

H-A-R reviewed the motor industry unit standards for the listed unit standards above to ensure they continued to be fit-for-purpose for the motor industry.

 

H-A-R carried out the review to better align the unit standards to the graduate profile outcomes of the New Zealand Automotive Refinishing, and Collision Repair suite of qualifications. Various unit standards were reviewed in batches between 2020 and 2021 giving multiple ‘next review dates’. These have now been consolidated to give a next review date of 2027. Providers with consent to assess were invited for input and feedback via email. Industry and subject matter experts also provided feedback and input into the review of these unit standards through online meetings and emails.

 

Main changes

 

·      The review date has been aligned to 2027 for all the unit standards listed.

·      Level 5 unit standards 21102, 24013 and 24017 have been reclassified to Level 4 to better align with the new Level 4 qualification outcomes.

·      Standard setting details are updated to reflect the change of standard setting body to Hanga-Aro-Rau Workforce Development Council from 4 October 2021.

·      Guidance Information has been updated to reflect current legislation, definitions, and recommended knowledge and skills.

·      Unit standards 24011, 24017, have updated titles to better reflect the skill set.

·      Unit 24011 has reduced in credits with the removal of maintenance.

·      New unit standards 33196 and 33276 have been created to better represent skill sets that have been previously incorporated in unit standard 24011.
